setup-agent

setup-agent is a skill for Claude Code from controlplane-com/ai-plugin. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for deploying a Control Plane wormhole agent, a small service that creates an outbound connection from a private network to Control Plane. This lets workloads reach systems in places such as a VPC, an on-premises data center, or another cloud.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and deploy the agent, connect it to a private network, attach the required identity, add network resources, and verify access to the target host.
Why use it?
It avoids exposing private systems directly to the internet and provides the steps to connect workloads to private network endpoints. The connection can carry TCP or UDP traffic.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 17d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent Setup

Tool availability: the agent and identity network-resource tools need ?toolsets=full; reconnect with it or use the CLI.

A wormhole agent is a lightweight VM or container you run inside the target network. It opens a persistent outbound connection to Control Plane and tunnels workload traffic to any TCP/UDP endpoint on the private side — VPC, on-prem, data center, Azure VNet, cross-cloud, or a laptop. A workload reaches the endpoint by attaching an identity (gvc-scoped) that carries a networkResources entry pointing at the agent. No external egress firewall rule is needed.

Scope: this is the deploy walkthrough — create the agent, deploy it on your platform, wire up the identity, verify. For the PrivateLink/PSC-vs-agent comparison, agent sizing tables, the full identity schema, and agent permissions, read native-networking. For the cloud-credential side (AWS/GCP/Azure access without an agent), read setup-cloud-access.

Before you start

Confirm with the user: what private resource the workload must reach (host/IP + ports), where it lives (cloud/VPC/on-prem/cluster), the org, and whether an agent already exists (list_resources kind="agent"). Reach for an agent only when PrivateLink/PSC does not fit — for an AWS or GCP managed service, native networking is lower-latency and needs no agent (see native-networking). An agent is right for on-prem, cross-cloud, Azure, or local development. Check which direction the user means: an agent lets a Control Plane workload reach into their network; it does not run the workload on their hardware. For that — bare metal, on-prem VMs, a data-center server as a deployment target — the answer is a BYOK location (mk8s-byok).

Step 1 — Create the agent

If the user asked you to set one up, create it directly; only list first when they want to reuse an existing one. Call create_agent (org, name, optional description): it returns the Console link where the user creates the agent and downloads the bootstrap config; the config never passes through the chat.
